2 0. Library. 



The usual list of presentations to the Library will be 

 appended to this Report, This list contains a number of 

 books on forestry subjects written by American foresters, and 

 published by Messrs Chapman and Hall, Ltd., London. 



21. Local Branches, 



The usual Reports from the Aberdeen Branch and the 

 Northern Branch will be submitted to this meeting. 



2 2. Register of Foresters. 



The Council would call the attention of members to the 

 Register of Foresters. A number of head and foreman 

 foresters are at present unemployed, and the Secretary has

 however, been offered. A special appeal is, therefore, made to 

 members who are in need of foresters, and to any who know of

 Society's Register, so that members may be given the first 

 chance of vacancies that occur. 



23. Appeal for New Members. 



As it is still very necessary that a constant effort should be 

 made to secure new members in order that the usefulness of 

 the Society may be continued and strengthened, an urgent 

 appeal is again made to each member to secure another member 

 in the course of the year, and a proposal form was sent to each 

 to be used for that purpose.

 which dealt with the proceedings at the Dumfries meeting. He 

 said that the Resolution which had been passed at that meeting 

 was not upon the billet of business, and should, therefore, not

 solution had been drafted by the Excursion party at Pitlochry, 

 and had been submitted by him to the Council and approved, 

 and that it had then been submitted to the General Meeting at 

 Dumfries with an explanation as to its origin, and had been 

 amended in that meeting and remitted back to the Council to 

 adjust and to forward to the Government and the Forestry 

 Commission. 



Mr Richardson also drew attention to the fact that no list ot 

 members had been printed for a considerable time, and that he
